EP Review: The Month Of May – Jackie Moonbather

As spring breaks out, multi-instrumentalist JACKIE MOONBATHER brings in a host of blossoming melodies through his ten track EP appropriately titled ‘The Month of May’.

The EP introduces a hazy glaze which washes over the arrangements fused with jazz, neo soul and old school soul possessing a slight rare groove vibe. Although the featured falsetto – reminiscent of the 70s – took centre stage in most productions, the occasional flash of the near baritone vocals were the star of the show as it adds a unique dimension to Moonbather’s laid-back trademark.

Lovers of neo soul (raphael saadiq style) and jazz/soul legends (perhaps Miles Davis and John Coltrane) will find ‘The Month of May’ a delight; listen to the EP below:

New Track: Say What You Want In Bed – Bryce!

Bryce Alvord – better known as BRYCE! – steps into the spotlight and delivers a strip back version to the pumped-up combo of rap and pop melodies – a trademark he and his partner in crime, Celsius 911 created under the stage name, Soho Kings.

It’s definitely a breath of fresh air; check out ‘Say What You Want In Bed’… more music will be coming soon from the dynamic duo.

New Track: Always Major – B. Eveready

Following his debut appearance on NEW LEASE MUSIC with R&B/hip-hop slammer ‘I’ma Hssla’ just over a year ago, B. EVEREADY finds his way back to the centre stage with latest ‘Always Major.’

Unlike his previous effort, which sports a real nostalgic 90s vibe, ‘Always Major’, is a bang-to-date joint with a seriously deep ‘West Coast’ flow, featuring the Boston native’s lack-back delivery cruising along with the bounce of the heavy bassline.

This one is dedicated to the true hustlers who are destined for greatness…take time out and have a listen…

Song of the Day: Doing It Stealthy – Oloff

Coming from his latest EP ‘Abyssopelagic’, released earlier this month, OLOFF drops his uptempo offering entitled ‘Doing It Stealthy.’

The accompanied video features the Bristolian working the stage, while slamming his wayward but satisfying flow over State 808-esque bars.

The EP itself features a mix of genres, ranging from hip-hop to ambient/experimental, where he plans to release each one as a single. Take time out and check out ‘Abyssopelagic‘ here.

Before you head off though, hit the play button on ‘Doing It Stealthy.’

New Music Video: Sanctified – Otis Mensah

OTIS MENSAH continues his run of video releases through track entitled ‘Sanctified.’

The three-and-a-half minute production featured the experimental hip-hop conscious prodigy expresses his truth through artistic self-expression, tempered by the burden of self-doubt and depression.

The young Sheffield native was previously featured with a hazy boombap effort, ‘Oh Jane’ back in February, which tackles the issue isolation after losing a love interest.

Check out his latest work; deep as ever…
